Topic: Some CSS questions ! (Page 1 of 1)

There is a method in html using frames where u have a left frame with a menu of links when clicked will change only yhe contents in the center or any intended frame.

I was wondering if i could do that with CSS ?

That's done with the "target" attribute of the <a> tag.

oh .. ok lets see if i got it right ..

.leftdiv { (all the codes here) }

then at a link i use this

<a href="" target=leftdiv></a>

that means clicking on the link will change the contents in lefidiv right ?


an i have another problem .. i cant seem to get the background-image to work for CSS. Cant i have words in leftdiv and then have background-image as well ?

the image always dont appear ...

afraid not. the target attribute works for windows and frames and that's about it.

That would require javascript, and depending on how large a scale you wanted to implement this, may or may not be a wise course of action. It would mean all the content that would be "loaded" into the div would have to be loaded at once, when the page is laoded, and different DIV's are simply made visible and invisible.


look in the FAQ for hide/show layers...should turn up some useful stuff.
